Day 3 started today with the U18's and U16's hitting the water and a dramatic increase in swell and wind. Former Australian Junior Champion Mikey Wright kicked his campaign off with a bang, bashing out multiple backside snaps and critical bottom turns, locking in a heat total of 15.17 to claim victory.
"It's definitely windy out there, but the swell has picked up a fair bit and there's a solid left coming through. If the wind dies down it would be a lot better. I'm in the event to try and simply have some fun and see how everyone is surfing at the moment."
"I guess my game plan for the event is to just get two good waves early in the heat and then just have fun from there."
Following on from his impressive win in yesterdays Under-16 Boys All Stars final, Zac found his rhythm in the punchy lefts to also claim a victory in his round one heat. Zak Condon also notched up a round 1 win. Luke Condon also progressed in the 16's.
Unfortunately the 2 Jakes were eliminated.
